    A very nice piece!

    Personally the novelty of Full automatic wore off years ago,I normally fire a few bursts and rapidly switch to Semi and just happily plink away.

    I am sure you will enjoy many happy hours at the range with that!

    It's a pretty ingenious fast loader for the stick magazines. Put up to 15 rounds into the slot and slam them home with one push. Do it again and the 30 round mag is loaded. Much faster than loading one round at a time.

    I was VERY fortunate that I know the owner of Kahr Arms - who also owns Auto-Ordnance. He gave me a Family and Friends discount which is pretty substantial. This is the M1SB version which has the original length barrel of the M1A1. So, it falls under the Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) definition by the ATF and required a Form 4 Tax Stamp - it took about 6 months to process through the ATF.

    Still, after shooting it this weekend, it was well worth the wait.
